Pink and Main - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Collaboration

 Hello again! Popping in today with the next in line of the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Exclusive Collaborations! It's hard to believe the month is more than half over! Today's collaboration is with Pink and Main, and is the cutest little holiday sweater set! I had fun pulling out my somewhat neglected Copic markers to color a couple of these cuties up!

I started off by stamping one of the sweaters from Warm and Fuzzy twice in black and clear heat embossing, then coloring those in with Copic markers (colors listed below!). I also stamped a sentiment, then die cut them all out. I stamped that same sweater a couple extra times on a white cardbase to create a fun background, then popped the colored sweaters and sentiment up with foam adhesive. I created a frame with Ivory glitter cardstock and an A2 Stitched Rectangle die, then added a generous sprinkle of coordinating enamel dots to add some extra color. For a final touch of sparkle, I added Nuvo glitter drops to the light bulbs on the sweaters - scroll to the bottom of the post to see how fun that touch is! Here are all the photos of the finished card:

Concord and 9th - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Collaboration

Hello again! After a couple days switching it up, I'm back with another of the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Exclusive Collaborations! Today is Concord and 9th with a STUNNING layering stamp set that I just love! Using a stamp positioner makes it easy to create multiples by stamping several times when you get each layer lined up. You know how much I love making a set!

I used the lovely Incredibly Grateful layering set to create all of these cards. I grabbed a bunch of inks that felt like a cross between spring and fall - muted, but still happy and bright - and my MISTI, and lined up and stamped each part of the image 3 times on panels of white cardstock. I used Cabbage, Artichoke, Kale, Zest, Salmon, Sky, Violet, Allspice, and Gingerbread. Once they were all done, I cut them out with the coordinating die. The sentiments are kind of genius as well! Those little ones are one stamp image, so I stamped in black ink and clear heat embossed, then die cut out with the one piece die that gives you each of the individual words to build your own sentiments with. Love it so much! The larger "thankful for you" sentiment was also part of the set, and I added it onto one of the cards as well. Here is a closer look at this fun set of cards:

Party Balloons - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Feature

 Hello! Today is a special STAMPtember surprise from Simon Says Stamp - and instead of a special collab or huge release, its a special mini release of embossing folders with coordinating stencils (several of them have dies as well), and a FLASH SALE (use COUPON code HURRY to get discount!) on all  of them PLUS previously released embossing folders with stencils! You can find them all tucked into this category HERE if you want to check out the options! I'm using one of the new sets to create this set of birthday cards - can you see the slight difference between them?

I started off by embossing the Party Balloons set on two A2 panels of cardstock, one white, and one in the nice soft pink shade of Seashell cardstock. I misted them with water for a nice deep impression, and let them dry thoroughly before stenciling. I used some ink colors that were on my desk from anther project, and stenciled all the layers with Cabbage, Zest, Salmon, Sky, and Violet inks. I used the Celebrate word die for the focal point, cutting from white glitter cardstock and Honey Gold cardstock, and popping that up with foam. Secondary sentiment is from the Strike up the Fun set! I love all the colorful balloons, and how they look slightly different depending on if they are on white or pink cardstock! Here are more photos:

Love You Hearts - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Release

Good morning! Today I'm posting another card I created for the huge Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Release at the beginning of this month, and hadn't had a chance to share yet! This was another one of the sets my daughter, Katie, designed, and this is actually a card based on her idea that she shared with me! I had so much fun creating it, and the colors are just so happy and bright, I can't help but smile!

I started off by using my MISTI to stamp the rainbow of hearts from Lots of Love on a panel of white cardstock. I used the newly released Rainbow Splash ink cubes, and chose the colors Dandelion, Pumpkin, Grass, Sea, Heather, and Crimson. I then stamped the outline with black ink - purposely stamping it imperfectly, and slightly offset on most of them (completely by accident, I stamped the red almost perfectly!). Also added the XO in the centers, and the sentiment die cut and popped up with foam. I trimmed that panel down with an A2 Rectangle die, then added a panel of black cardstock cut with A2 Postage Rectangles to make it pop. I originally adhered that to a white cardbase, but wouldn't you know, it was a bit crooked! So, to fix that, I trimmed it down straight, then adhered it onto a new cardbase. Easy fix, and just added a touch more dimension! Finished off with a few tiny rows of Clear Dazzling gems! Here are more photos of the finished card:

Warm Wishes Penguins - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Feature

Hello! Today is a special STAMPtember surprise from Simon Says Stamp - and instead of a special collab or huge release, its a special mini release of embossing folders with coordinating dies, and a FLASH SALE (use COUPON code FAST to get discount!) on all  of them PLUS previously released embossing folders with dies! You can find them all tucked into this category HERE if you want to check out the options! I'm using one of the new sets to create this cute little card!

I started off by die cutting the Penguin Pals single die 3 times from white cardstock, then running it through the embossing folder. I then used Copic markers to carefully color the image in. I also used the embossing folder on a panel of Steel cardstock, and used the debossed side for my background. I cut a Chunky Scalloped Oval from white cardstock, then two sizes of Chunky Ovals dies - one from white cardstock, one from white glitter cardstock. On the white one, I blended Shell and Periwinkle inks and then added some white splatter. For the sentiment, I used Warm Wishes die and vellum and black cardstock. I tucked a couple of the penguins peeking out, and added a few Dazzling Clear gems to finish off! Here's a closer look:

Trinity Stamps - Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Collaboration

Hello again! Back today to the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Exclusive Collaborations, and today's might be one of my favorites of the entire month! Trinity Stamps outdid themselves with this adorable cutie-pie set! I just wanna squish him!!!

I was inspired by a fun color combo on Pinterest, and I love how fresh and fun it is! I stamped and clear heat embossed the adorable little yeti from Confetti Yeti, and colored him in with Copic markers (colors noted below in supply list). I die cut one of the Hand-stitched Rectangles from Seashell cardstock, and from Gina K Cadet Blue cardstock. I used a Drifting Stitched Border die to trim that down to create the ground, then trimmed a bit off the Seashell panel before adhering together. That way I could make my rectangle a bit shorter and leave room for my sentiment underneath. I added a Stitched Circle cut from Creamsicle cardstock, with one side trimmed off, then added my little yeti on a Charm Spinner to make it twirl for fun! Adhered everything on an Ivory cardbase, then added a few Clear Dazzling gems and some Nuvo glitter drops on the party hat and balloons for added sparkle! Here's a closer look at all the little details:
